The POW-MIA Flag

The POW-MIA flag is
a symbol of our nation’s commitment to discovering the fate, to the fullest
extent possible, of American’s who are being held as prisoner, missing, or otherwise
unaccounted for. U.S. Public Law 101-355,
passed by the 101st Congress on August 10, 1990, designates the following days
in which the POW-MIA flag is to be displayed:

- Armed Forces Day: Third Saturday
in May.

- Memorial Day: Last Monday in May.

- Flag Day: June 14.

- Independence Day: July 4.

- National POW-MIA Recognition Day:
Third Friday in September.

- Veterans Day: November 11.

When celebrating Independence Day tomorrow, be sure to
display the POW-MIA flag to honor those still unaccounted for.
